ANSWERS
1) d. James Madison, the fourth U.S. president. He was the key figure in
drafting
the Constitution and a force in pushing for a Bill of Rights.
Madison was the only member of the Constitutional Convention to attend every
meeting and he kept a detailed journal that was kept secret until after
his death, purchased for $30,000 in 1837 by the U.S. government and
then published in 1840.
2) b. George Washington.
3) True.
4) c. His Highness the President of the United States of America
and Protector of their Liberties. The Senate and House finally
compromised on president.
5) b. public education. It’s nowhere in the document; it’s an issue
reserved to the states.
6) c. 10 years
7) a. No bill of rights. One was added — the first 10 Amendments
— three years after the ratification of the Constitution.
8) The Constitution has 4,543 words, including the signatures but
not the certificate on the interlineations; and takes about half
an hour to read.
The Declaration of Independence has 1,458 words,
- with the signatures, and takes
about ten minutes to read.
9) d. Rhode Island. It was the last state to ratify the Constitution too.
10) The Twenty-first Amendment, in 1933, repealed the prohibition of alcohol,

More than 11,000 amendments have been introduced in Congress;
33 have gone to the states to be ratified and 27 became amendments to the
Constitution.
11) Yes. The Constitution allows impeachment by the House
and trial of the accused by the Senate sitting as a court of
“all civil Officers,” which includes the justices.

of test takers achieving perfect scores.
